Most Similar Schools Locally
- National Institute of Technology Manipur sits close to this institution on civil engineering, mechanical engineering and electrical and electronics; it teaches at the same levels, namely bachelor's, master's and doctoral, and covers telecommunications as well.
- Both schools build their programmes around civil engineering, mechanical engineering and electrical and electronics, and National Institute of Technology Arunachal Pradesh is the one to compare first within the country, since it covers ecology and sustainability as well, and is slightly smaller, at about 700 students against roughly 800 here.
- National Institute of Technology Sikkim overlaps with this school on civil engineering, mechanical engineering and electrical and electronics, so the two are easy to compare, and it is also a public institution, and runs the same bachelor's, master's and doctoral programmes.
- On content, National Institute of Technology Nagaland and this school are close, as both teach civil engineering, mechanical engineering and electrical and electronics; it runs the same bachelor's, master's and doctoral programmes, and covers telecommunications as well.
- Where this institution leans on civil engineering, mechanical engineering and electrical and electronics, National Institute of Technology Uttarakhand does the same, and it is also a public institution, and runs the same bachelor's, master's and doctoral programmes.
Most Similar Schools Abroad
- In Russia, Peter the Great St. Petersburg Polytechnic University teaches much the same core subjects, civil engineering, physics and mechanical engineering, and it is also a public institution, and teaches at the same levels, namely bachelor's, master's and doctoral.
- Students considering a move abroad can look at Gwangju Institute of Science and Technology in South Korea, where physics, AI and machine learning and engineering also form the core, and it is also a public institution and does not run the bachelor's programmes found here.
- Norwegian University of Science and Technology in Norway pursues a similar profile in civil engineering, mechanical engineering and electrical and electronics, and it covers marine science as well, and is far larger, with about 43,550 students against roughly 800 here.
- Abroad, Ural Federal University (Russia) covers physics, mechanical engineering and electrical and electronics in a comparable way, and it is far larger, with about 36,000 students against roughly 800 here, and is also a public institution.
- National Technological University (Argentina) works on the same fields as this school, chiefly civil engineering, mechanical engineering and electrical and electronics; it covers industrial design and telecommunications as well, and is far larger, with about 90,000 students against roughly 800 here.

*: without any judgment of the quality, readers are strongly encouraged to check the official status of the exact diploma envisioned as many universities have a mix of recognized diplomas, not recognized, “co-delivered,” “equivalent to”, “some pathways” (…), can change over time, and can be named differently from one country to another.
**: international reputation: is based on some criteria that do not mean much in some domains or specialties (number of researchers, of scientific publications, on budget ….). Our approximate 1-4 scale:
- known locally
- known locally and internationally
- is listed in some of the world university’s classifications
- is listed among the 20 firsts in some of world university’s classifications
***: estimated numbers, based on online sources and/or feedbacks. The numbers can vary greatly depending on school organisation (ex.: school is part of a group, it employs internal staff or external consultants or has public staff without employing them …).
